Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening in Phase 3B2, Mohali (near Phase 7) to fix a gummy smile or expose more tooth before a crown. Our MDS periodontists gently reshape the gum and bone for balanced, even teeth and a lasting restoration. Often part of a smile makeover, with quick healing and natural-looking results.
What is crown lengthening?
Crown lengthening reshapes the gum, and sometimes the bone, to expose more of the tooth. It is done for two main reasons: to correct a gummy smile where teeth look short, and to expose enough healthy tooth structure so a broken or decayed tooth can be restored with a crown. At Urja Dental Clinic in Phase 3B2, Mohali, crown lengthening is performed by our MDS periodontists under local anaesthesia. For cosmetic cases, we plan the new gumline to suit your smile and face; for restorative cases, it can save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction. The gums heal over a few weeks, after which your final crown or smile treatment is completed.
